A 21-year-old former Central Michigan University student died Saturday after sustaining injuries the night before outside The B.O.B. entertainment complex in downtown Grand Rapids.

Gregory Barker of Grand Rapids was involved in an altercation between two groups of college students arriving at the complex on two buses.

After both Gregory Barker groups were denied access to the B.O.B., a fight ensued around 1 a.m.

Police were called the next morning at 9:30 a.m. when Barker began complaining of pain from his injuries, Grand Rapids Police Lt. Pat Merrill said. He was taken to Spectrum Hospital, where he later died.

“When we got this call, (Barker) had somehow realized he was more injured than he thought,” Merrill said.

Although Merrill said the people involved in the fight were college-age, he was unable to confirm that the conflict had anything to do with school.

“I don’t know if college students were involved,” he said. “The argument was not collegiate in nature.”

GRPD found no weapons at the scene. Merrill said the fight involving 11-13 people was finished in 30 seconds. The assailants began fighting on the sidewalk next to The B.O.B. and then moved into a parking lot to the north. w BARKER | 2A

A Mid Michigan Community College student was found dead in his apartment Tuesday morning at The Village at Bluegrass, 4300 Collegiate Way. Matt Vandercook, a 21-year-old Monroe native, was found in his bed by roommates around 9 a.m. in building six, apartment 633. Michigan State Police and Mobile Medical Response arrived on the scene at 9:10 a.m., where Vandercook was pronounced dead.

One of his roommates, CMU Monroe junior Brandon Samp-

usually does when he’s sick, so we didn’t think anything of it at first.”

When roommates checked on Vandercook on Tuesday, they found him unresponsive and immediately called the police. Sampson said his roommate’s skin was discolored on his sides.

When asked, roommates said they recalled no sounds coming from the room or any other reason for alarm before finding Vandercook unresponsive.

“When we went in, as the light was shining you could see he was purple,” Sampson said. “It’s messed up. We don’t really know what happened.”

According to Sampson, Vandercook

had dropped his classes at MMCC just a few months before the incident.

Michigan State Police confirmed the Vandercook family has been notified of Matt’s death. A news release from MSP said a postmortem examination to find the cause of death is pending.

The case remains under dual investigation by the Michigan State Police Mount Pleasant Post and the Isabella County Medical Examiner’s Office.

New York Times’ Kamidoi to be honored at CMU

By Samantha Smallish Student Life Editor

Wayne Kamidoi’s journey to The New York Times started with coverage of women’s field hockey games.

A 1987 graduate, Kamidoi started his work as a journalist in the musty basement of Anspach Hall as an ambitious freshman, working a beat for Central Michigan Life he knew nothing about.

“I had never seen it or even knew one rule of field hockey to start with,” Kamidoi said. “So it was a real learning experience.”

Kamidoi’s work has paid off, as he along with former CM Life advisor Neil Hopp, editor/publisher of The Capital of Annapolis Tom Marquardt and University of Michigan vice president for communications Kallie Bila Michels are being inducted into the Journalism Hall of Fame on Nov. 15.

Kameel Stanley, Young Journalist of the Year and reporter for the Tampa Bay Times will also be inducted.

Today, as art director of the Times’ sports section, Kamidoi spends his days creating visual masterpieces for all the world to see.

But he says he is not an artist.

son, said his roommate was in bed all day Monday.

Sampson said after a Sunday night of eating a spaghetti dinner and watching the Detroit Tigers game on Matt Vandercook TV, Vandercook went to bed early and was not seen all day Monday.

“He was just in his room all day,” Sampson said. “That’s what he

“I’m really not an artist. I mean, my 10-year-old can draw pictures much better than I can.”

Wayne Kamidoi, sports art director of The New York Times “I’m really not an artist,” he said. “I mean, my 10-year-old can draw pictures much better than I can.”

Others think differently, and Kamidoi has the awards to prove it.

Kamidoi has won more than 50 awards from the Society for News Design and has been honored as Sports Designer of the Year in 2007 and 2012.

“He’s obviously highly regarded in the design world,” said journalism professor Ken McDonald.

McDonald and Kamidoi both started their journalism careers at CM Life and continuing beyond CMU where their paths crossed again at the Detroit Free Press.

McDonald credits some of his career success to Kamidoi, saying Kamidoi helped him land the job at the Free Press.

“To a large extent, I kind of owe much of my career to following in

Wayne’s footsteps,” McDonald said.

“I don’t know necessarily whether I would have gotten that interview or not at the Free Press had it not been for Wayne’s connection and the fact that he had gone there and done really good work (before) recommending me.”

In fact, being helpful and mindful of others is one of Kamidoi’s strongest attributes.

“Wayne is a terrific listener,” McDonald said. “He’s a great team player (and) he is excellent at allowing everyone to have their say before deciding what direction he thinks the design should go in.”

According to President of the Society for News Design Rob Schneider, Kamidoi lent a helping hand during a time when Schneider was struggling. w KAMIDOI | 2A

“Wayne had a lot to do with the fact that The New York Times is not just a great paper to read, but it’s a very interesting paper to look at.”

Ken McDonald, journalism professor

KAMIDOI | CONTINUED FROM 1A Schneider, an editor at The Dallas Morning News and one of the many Kamidoi fans at the time, reached out to his fellow designer for some guidance. “(Kamidoi) spent two hours on the phone with me going over my work,” Schneider said.

“He was really honest in his critique and really helpful in the way he approached it.”

Schneider took Kamidoi’s act of kindness to heart, as he continues to follow the example Kamidoi set for him years ago.

“I’ve always been aware that you’re only as good as you treat other people,” Schneider said.

“And that really inspired me to pay that forward to people who reach out to me.”

As art director, Kamidoi works to blend the creations of his coworkers — reporters, photographers and graphic designers — into one central focus.

His daily work is much like constructing a recipe, as he brings together all the “ingredients” from various sources to create something tasteful and visually appetizing.

“I feel like when you’re a designer, you’re taking in the best ideas — best thoughts, best stories, best photos — all the ingredients of that particular day and then making them representative of the news of that day,” Kamidoi said.

But there is a unique niche needed from those who work at The Times.

“The New York Times is different. It has its own set of rules,” Schneider said. “From an outsider to look at, there doesn’t seem to be a good rhyme or reason as to why they do things.”

And Kamidoi has that niche.

Not only has he made it to a world-renowned newspaper, but he has excelled.

“Wayne had a lot to do with the fact that The New York Times is not just a great paper to read, but it’s a very interesting paper to look at,” McDonald said.

Wayne Kamidoi

While Kamidoi’s success is apparent, it might not be in a traditional sense. As art director, Kamidoi’s works aren’t the center of attention. In fact, sometimes they hardly receive any attention at all.

“A lot of my designs are in a way simple,” he said. “The best designs are really the ones that get out of the way and don’t intrude on the content of the news.”

For Kamidoi, it’s all in the details: The fonts, the spacing, the number of stories on a page. It’s these details that both enhance the look of the newspaper and draw in readers.

But it’s Kamidoi’s overall love for all things journalism that keeps him going.

“I just like the whole newsgathering and newspaper business,” he said. “I think that’s in my blood.”

And at the end of every workday, Kamidoi said he feels an overwhelming sense of pride that comes from knowing he aided in the creation of one of the most loved, hated, respected and criticized newspapers in the world.

“I like the fact that in some way, when someone picks up The New York Times newspaper, I was part of that,” Kamidoi said. studentlife@cm-life.com

BARKER | CONTINUED FROM 1A “It was a very short exchange,” Merrill said. “It was not an extended street fight.

We never even got called to the scene.”

Merrill said downtown Grand Rapids saw an influx of people that weekend, due to sporting events and two 21st birthday parties being celebrated in the area.

“It was a good crowd downtown,” he said. “There were a lot of party buses. We had several big celebrations taking place.”

B.O.B. owner Greg Gilmore addressed the incident in a statement to Fox 17 WXMI. He said two buses arrived after midnight, and that most of the group members were not allowed in for being too intoxicated.

“Most of the groups were denied entry, and they are the ones that caused the problems,” read Gilmore’s statement. “Our security only got involved when they saw one of the groups ganging up on people over by the lot by (TGI) Fridays.”

According to a witness, B.O.B. security guards attempted to separate the conflicting groups. One guard was observed sustaining injuries

after being pushed into a piece of metal siding.

Several hours later, officers were called to Barker’s home in Cascade Township. He had sustained blunt force trauma to the abdomen and suffered internal bleeding as a result of his injuries.

Despite WXMI’s earlier report of Barker being a current CMU student, officials said he dropped out after last year’s spring semester.

“He is not a student here,” said CMU Director of Public Relations Steve Smith. “It looks like he dropped out and never came back.”

CMU has options amid debt ceiling scare

By Malachi Barrett Staff Reporter

With a default on the federal debt obligations perilously close to becoming reality, Central Michigan University is attempting to assess the damage not raising the debt ceiling would cause to the university.

Thursday marks the final day for Congress to raise the nation’s borrowing limit beyond the current $16.7 trillion. Lawmakers are embroiled in a battle over government spending, health care reform and re-opening the partially shut down government.

While progress has been made in the Democratic-controlled Senate in recent days over a potential deal between party leaders, it is unclear if said deal could pass the Republicancontrolled House of Representatives.

Another unknown is exactly what would happen in the case of a debt ceiling breach, and most economists agree a breach would be catastrophic.

The government would have to prioritize which programs, from Social Security to federal loans, it could fund before a final default in the following days, likely triggering a global recession and ruining the Treasury note’s standing as the backbone of the global economy.

Rising interest rates and a potential stock market decline would cause financial difficulties for some students with bills to pay, CMU Provost Michael Gealt said.

“We’re still trying to figure out a lot of this,” Gealt said. “Impacts on the stock market may impact some people’s ability to pay tuition. Some people are taking money out of their investments to pay their tuition.”

Federally funded programs CMU and students rely upon, including tuition assistance programs and federal research grants, could be in danger as the Treasury chooses which programs it should fund.

In an email to Gealt, Director of Student Services-Off Campus Jody Hassen said federal agencies would not be able to pay tuition and that students receiving tuition assistance from the government will have to find a way to self-pay to stay enrolled in classes until the money is available again.

Hassen said the Army recalled all pre-approved tuition assistance on Oct. 2 because of the government shutdown. Subsequently, roughly 60 percent of CMU ROTC students have chosen to self-pay for this semester.

If no solution is reached by Oct. 17, Gealt said it would still take until November to really begin to feel the impact.

“The university is fiscally very sound, we have money in reserves,” Gealt said. “We have money in the bank with the intention that this might be spent on something, and a lot of it is just our savings. It’s good to have it for occurrences like this.” university@cm-life.com

Beating the Bullies CMU student overcomes bullying, becomes into successful actress, model

By Stephen Cross Staff Reporter

Brittney Cicotte did not let bullying get in the way of making a name for herself.

The Canton senior, who has been a part of 12 modeling agencies and was featured in two movies, has dealt with an uneasy childhood and school bullies since her earliest school years.

“When I was in elementary school, I had a hard time fitting in with all the girls and guys,” Cicotte said. “I was always the tallest, which made me stand out like a sore thumb through all my years until high school.”

The bullies would often compare Cicotte to a giraffe, labeling her an anorexic because of her stature. It got so bad that she had to change schools more than once.

Cicotte’s uncle, Greg, admits that going through the bullying with his niece resulted in some of the toughest moments he’s had to experience.

“It was difficult for everyone to see Brittney go through it,” Greg said. “She didn’t let it take her down though. She stuck to her guns and beat it.”

Cicotte put up with the bullying until the end of middle school. By the time she got to high school, she was

done putting up with the abuse.

“Once I entered high school, I grew a backbone,” Cicotte said. “If someone came up to me, I would tell them to say what they had to say, and then I’d keep walking.”

Cicotte kept that attitude throughout high school and eventually became the homecoming queen.

“I never thought I would win homecoming queen,” Cicotte said. “I always tried to be myself because I’m different, and I’m not going to change who I am just to fit in with anyone else.”

Cicotte is now an avid supporter of anti-bullying causes, using her position as a model and actress to advance those causes.

Modeling has been a major focus of Cicotte’s life ever since her first professional photo shoot when she was 13 years old. Even though she has had fun with it, she said modeling isn’t all fun and games.

“The toughest part about being a model is finding work that is fit for you,” Cicotte said. “A lot of the photographers, especially in the Detroit area, want to give you a poor image by making you do nude and lingerie shots, which are things I’d never do. “ From finding friends within her profession to taking on odd assignments, Cicotte has seen it all. One of

the strangest photo shoots happened a year after her first shoot.

“When I was 14, this girl made me a bathing suit out of a torn t-shirt, and then we had to model out in the snow in the middle of freezing cold Michigan,” Cicotte said.

But the modeling life does come with its perks. Cicotte occasionally gets to keep merchandise after she performs in fashion shows.

Cicotte’s work history has contributed to getting traditional jobs, but her modeling experience has caused problems between her and past employers.

“When I found out from Hollister that I was hired for my looks, I quit the job since I didn’t want to get work just because I’m pretty,” Cicotte said. “I have a personality and many skills besides my looks.”

Aside from being a model, Cicotte has done some film work as well. She was a movie extra in “Hostel 3” and in the 2012 remake of “Red Dawn,” where she played a “Bar Hottie.” But she had to pay a price to be in the latter.

“It was the first day of my senior year of high school, and I had to choose between being an extra in ‘Red Dawn’ or go to the first day of high school and see my friends,” Cicotte said. “I got to meet Josh

Hutcherson on set, and then I saw him in the ‘Hunger Games’ and thought it was cool that I got to talk to him and know what he’s like.”

There was a moment after high school where the aspiring model contemplated choosing college or taking her modeling career to the next level.

“I was done sitting at home and I needed to do something that was good for me that had a legit outcome,” Cicotte said. “I decided that I was going to take the college path, and I found Central’s campus perfect for me.”

Cicotte now models as a hobby and plans to graduate from Central Michigan University with a degree in apparel merchandising. After she graduates, she plans on joining a business that she can make a career out of.

Even though she has appeared on the big screen and has a full portfolio, Cicotte’s greatest accomplishment might best be told by her mother, Bridgette.

“She struggled with making friends and finding her own identity,” Bridgette said. “Brittney proves that bullied children can still accomplish their dreams by staying strong and true to themselves.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Featured poet draws tears from students Mount Pleasant crowd

By Megan Pacer Senior Reporter

Morgan Taylor | Staff Photographer Sean Thomas Dougherty reads some of his poetry before students and community members at the Wellspring Literary Series at Art Reach in downtown Mount Pleasant on Monday night.

Poet Sean Thomas Dougherty brought the audience from laughter to tears Monday night during the first reading of this year’s Wellspring Literary Series at the Art Reach Center of Mid Michigan.

In front of about to 100 Mount Pleasant residents and students, several could be seen dabbing their eyes during Dougherty’s emotional reading of a poem inspired by his loss of a loved one.

Dougherty, who began his writing career in his mid-twenties, used variation in his voice, differing tempos, personal commentary and even singing to transform his written words into almost tangible pieces of art that hung in the air even after the final word was uttered at 111 E. Broadway St. “To me, poetry is a kind of music,” Dougherty said. “For me, it’s not as much a literary art as it is a singing art. Sometimes the words aren’t sung, but they’re sung because language has sound.”

“To me, poetry is a kind of music.”

Sean Thomas Dougherty, Poet The Wellspring Literary Series, facilitated by Robert Fanning, assistant professor of Creative Writing at Central Michigan University, has a history of incorporating music into every event. From music professors to local bands and performers, the series makes a point to emphasize the similarities that music and poetry share. “(Language) has vowel sounds, low notes, high notes, assonance (and) alliteration,” Dougherty said. “So that musicality is embedded in poems.”

Now, in its fifth year, the Wellspring Series also featured student poet Hailee Sattavara, a current graduate student working toward a master degree in creative writing and a former Central Michigan Life editor, as well as local Mount Pleasant’s only BalkanKlezmer-Gypsy band, Kavazabava.

Sattavara, whose readings also explored the darker experiences and emotions of humanity, uses her

experience as a psychology major as a major source of inspiration.

“It definitely helped me to be more introspective, and rather than just writing something, kind of understanding why I was writing something.” Sattavara said. “It kind of gave it another layer that I think really helped my poems.”

From interactions with others to walking down the street, the everyday occurrences of life provide great writing material for poets, Sattavara said.

The next reading in the Wellspring Series will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 4 at the Art Reach Center.

It will feature poet and Writer in Residence at Western Michigan University Diane Seuss, with catering provided by Max and Emily’s Eatery, 125 E. Broadway St. metro@cm-life.com

Staff Reporter

Way to shut me down with you, Congress When the federal government shut down earlier this month and politicians started blaming each other for causing it, many students shrugged it off, saying it doesn’t affect them.

In the short run, or least for the first month, the shutdown probably won’t affect most students.

The longer the shutdown lasts, though, the likelihood of it having an impact on students increases.

address again, or wait until the government opens back up again.

I can still be seen at a VA hospital, but if they’re going to send me any medication or lab results, it will go to my previous address first and, if the Postal Service is still working properly, forwarded to me here.

I’m still concerned about what is going to happen to me and all my fellow student veterans on Nov. 1. Will I receive my VA benefits and be able to pay the rent, or will I have to do what I did over the summer and live off credit hoping everything will be fixed before drowning in debt?

Who knows what the future holds? All I can do is write my congressman and hope this political screaming match comes to an end soon before everybody ends up in a world of hurt.

BEHIND THE DESK

Nate Clark

I didn’t think the shutdown would affect me until next month when I have to worry about whether or not my veteran benefits will be paid out so I can cover my expenses, but I was wrong.

For a class assignment, I really needed to check population numbers and statistics in Michigan.

The easiest and most credible way to do that is to check out census.gov, the U.S. Census’ comprehensive website that has more raw data than one would know what to do with.

I needed the numbers, but thanks to the government shutdown, the website was taken offline forcing me to write and explanatory paragraph in my paper stating why I can’t verify population numbers at this moment.

Doing that made me feel like such a hack, like I didn’t know what I was doing.

I’m sure my professor understands the situation, but that doesn’t make it any better.

The shutdown has not only affected my ability to complete a class assignment, but it has also had an effect on other tasks I need to get done.

The Department of Veteran Affairs is notorious for being slow, so when I when I submitted a change of address to them so I could actually receive VA letters and prescriptions to where I live, they messed it up and still send things to my previous address.

I can either wait on the phone all day hoping to change my

CM Life: Describe yourself in three words: Katey Brooks: Excited, adventurous and loud.

Staff Reporter

Plugged in and tuned out I have really begun to observe over the past month and a half how out of tune some of today’s generation really is.

I’ll be walking around campus and notice someone has their headphones blaring, or they ’ll be looking down at their phone, undoubtedly text messaging.

I’m not just picking on today’s younger people, as this is a problem that has reached vast proportions of multiple age groups.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love technology and think it’s an integral aspect of life in the 21st Century. But when it affects people in such a way that it limits or flat out prevents them from being aware of their surroundings, it is detrimental to themselves and those around them.

After all, human beings are social creatures by nature, thus technology has unfortunately become a catalyst for less social interaction and a decline in interpersonal skills.

Whatever happened to the days when we would walk down the street in a quaint subdivision or a bustling urban block and say hello to a stranger?

Nowadays, everyone has their phones out texting, tweeting or posting mindless information to Facebook.

Perhaps it’s the media that has instilled a sense of fear and apprehension in all of us, so that we shy away from making unnecessary small talk to any passersby.

Either way, things need to change, and it can be done simply by putting away your phone.

Is that text about meeting your “bros” later tonight for a “GTA V” or a “Call of Duty” session really so crucial it must be sent immediately?

You’re not on the ground dying. It’s not an emergency. We need to reconsider what is truly important and what can wait until later.

Turn to that girl behind you and strike up a conversation with her. And who knows?

Maybe you’ll make a best friend just by saying hello to a stranger on the sidewalk as you’re heading to class.

So, let’s all unplug and tune back into reality. I think the world would be a much happier, healthier and friendlier environment if we can take simple measures like this.

What is the best part about being a Chippewa?

KB: The campus environment. It’s just really friendly. The campus is pretty and it’s the perfect size.

Who is your role model?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Send your creative writing to the Central Review In October 2010, I was sitting on a plane at The Detroit Metro Airport coming home when I received an email to my phone from Andrew Dooley, who was the editor of The Central Review undergraduate literary magazine at the time.

The email asked if I planned to attend the fall debut of The Central Review to read my poem that had been selected for publication in the magazine.

I was taken completely by surprise, and it took a few seconds to realize that I must have missed the original acceptance email. The Fall debut was the very next night

and Dooley was, for lack of a better phrase, hunting me down.

That was the moment my journey with The Central Review truly began. It was the middle of my first semester at CMU, and I had just debunked the myth that freshmen on our campus are never published. You can too.

The Central Review accepts all forms of poetry, prose and photography.

Submission is open to all CMU students, from freshmen to those at the graduate level. Each student may submit three pieces of prose of up to three thousand words each, five poems with no

single poem exceeding three pages and up to five photographs.

To be considered for publication, please submit your work to the CMUcentralreview.gmail.com.

If you have any additional questions, you can send them to the same email address, find The Central Review on Facebook or visit our website, thecentralreview.com.

The deadline for our fall edition of The Central Review is Friday at 11:59 p.m. Myself and the rest of the staff look forward to reading your work!

#Renamethetrail takes Twitter by storm

NAME THAT BUILDING

VENERABLE BUILDING NAMED TO HONOR ACCOMPLISHED CMU PRESIDENT ANSPACH

“Walking to class and seeing the #renamethetrail campaign — definitely powerful. Rape is not something to make fun of #rename #chippewatrail.”

Some students did not know about the trail’s nickname. Others say it’s just a joke.

“You can’t really rename a trail that doesn’t have an official name,” said Sagniaw senior Dan Ahrens in a Facebook comment.

Students are suggesting solutions to make the wooded trail user-friendly.

Grand Rapids senior Cassie Graverson posted a Facebook comment saying lights would be the best option.

“I think some lights would be more helpful than a sign that says ‘friendship trail’ to help keep us safer,” she said.

By Katherine Ranzenberger Staff Reporter

It’s been nicknamed the “Rape Trail” for generations, but some Central Michigan University students have started a campaign to change the nickname of a trail, located between Campus Habitat apartments and the Towers residence halls, and get rid of rape culture in the area.

“It’s not about giving it an official name,” said Bullock Creek senior Jason Hagle in a Facebook comment. “The point is stop calling it ‘Rape Trail.’

A Twitter hashtag has popped up recently, and #renamethetrail is in hundreds of tweets and even has its own account.

Belleville senior Rachel Dybicki posted a tweet saying she is glad to see the signs and the campaign going.

By Mason Doerr Staff Reporter

This is the first story in a series that will explore the people behind the names of buildings on Central Michigan University’s campus.

This week, Anspach Hall’s namesake, former CMU President Charles Anspach, is the focus. The information gathered for this report comes from the Clarke Historical Library and CentralLink.

Anspach Hall is one of the most heavily trafficked buildings on campus, where most students complete a large portion of their undergraduate requirements.

The building is named after Charles Anspach, the third president and fifth executive head of Central Michigan University, which was previously the Central State Teachers College. Anspach oversaw the name change, which was applied in 1955.

He served in those

positions from 1939-59, after gaining his doctorate degree from the University of Michigan in 1930.

Before coming to CMU, Anspach taught at Eastern Michigan University and was the president of Ashland College in Ohio.

As president, Anspach was known for his excellent speaking skills as well as authoring three books and co-authoring another two.

Anspach, along with his wife, Mary, were the first to live in CMU’s chief executive house, located on Bellows Street. This building was home to several following presidents before being re-named the Carlin Alumni House in 1989.

During his time at CMU, Anspach served as a delegate in the 1962 State Constitutional Convention.

Enrollment tripled, the number of faculty quadrupled, campus grew from seven buildings to

more than 40, residence halls expanded from one to eight, CMU received the ability to grant graduate degrees, and CMU gained university status during his term.

After leaving CMU, Anspach spent his time presenting speeches at high school commencement ceremonies and other organizations and worked at EMU on its governing board.

Anspach Hall was dedicated in his name in 1967.

The building continues to serve as a social sciences building, which holds classes in English, political science and philosophy.

The building also previously occupied WCMU-TV and Central Michigan Life, both of which have since moved to Moore Hall.

It was recently remodeled for aesthetics and handicap accessibility at a $14.4 million cost. university@cm-life.com

Best Buddies RSO teaches community the meaning of friendship

By Andrea Peck Senior Reporter

F N S C O R L E A OW H 20 SI O 1 N O 4/ G LY 2 EA 015 R!

The registered student organization Best Buddies teaches students the importance of developing friendships and connections within the community.

Best Buddies is a nonprofit organization that allows students to form friendships and connections with those who have intellectual and developmental disabilities.

East Lansing sophomore Maddie Piotter is in her second year as the PR officer for the RSO. She said it is part of a larger organization that works nationally to promote a global volunteer movement that emphasizes friendship, integrated employment and leadership development for people with disabilities.

“We work with members of the Mount Pleasant community to form friendships with them,” she said. “We’re working with a lot of assisted living homes.”

Best Buddies holds meetings once a month. Outside of meetings, members are required to hang out with their buddies two times a month and talk to them every week.

“We plan huge group activities to do with our buddies,” Piotter said.

“We’ve had Halloween parties, Thanksgiving potlucks and Valentine’s Day parties.

We usually go to the movies, dinner, bowling, the park or over to their housing place.”

When students first join the RSO, they are interviewed and a profile is created for them.

“The interview questions are just about why they joined, what they want to get out of it, if they have had any experience, do they have a car, what are their hobbies, and so on,” Piotter said.

From there, the profiles are taken to the group homes and matched by who will fit best with whom based on shared interests and the different needs of the individuals involved.

Amber Schwennesen is the treasurer for the RSO and plans a lot of fundraising for the club.

“Best Buddies is a nonprofit, so we have to fundraise all our money, and I work to make that happen,” she said.

Schwennesen loves the

fact that the RSO gives back to the community.

“I really like being involved with the special education population. It gives college students the opportunity to develop a relationship with someone that’s really rewarding,” she said.

Avid medallion hunters prepare for this year’s big find

By Kate Woodruff Staff Reporter

One of the few rules of Central Michigan University’s homecoming medallion hunt reads: “This is a fun hunt, please do not miss class, stay up all night, or get too serious about it.”

But, for an exclusive group of CMU students, this advice is nearly impossible to obey.

Clinton Township senior Danielle Toerper is one of these students, and has been searching for the homecoming medallion each homecoming since her freshman year in 2008.

“My friends all know I’m a die-hard medallion hunter and anytime I bring it up, their first words are ‘oh my gosh,’ followed by an eye roll,” Toerper said, joking about her friends. “I always have funny stories to tell (about hunting), like one time I got locked into Kelly/Shorts Stadium at night and had to climb two fences to get out.”

While she has never found the medallion herself, Toerper said that only fuels her desire to look harder each year, and encourages other students to do the same.

“I’ve never found it, but I think that’s what makes me so obsessed with finding it every year; people want those bragging rights,” she said. “Students should participate because you learn so much about campus and get to go to neat locations you wouldn’t usually visit.”

Toerper warns those who aren’t medallion hunters to disregard any

strange behavior they might encounter during homecoming week.

“Needless to say, if you see a student randomly walking in bushes in the rain or running at someone in a costume on campus, they are a die-hard medallion hunter,” she said.

Grand Rapids junior Trevor Dieffenbach is another die-hard hunter who started his search for the medallion in 2011.

“I started medallion hunting my freshman year with Larzelere Hall during our homecoming festivities and I have been doing it ever since, as I am now a resident assistant in Larzelere,” Dieffenbach said. “As a tradition, we started on Sunday and that leads to a fun week.”

Spending late nights interpreting clues and searching campus for leads is a way that many students have built friendships with members of their search groups.

“Those late nights running around until 2 or 3 a.m. on campus to figure out clues and look for the medallion are a great way to build comradery within your hall or Registered Student Organization,” he said. “I wouldn’t sit down at my leisure to try to decipher a few lines of Morse Code, but during the medallion hunt, (deciphering clues) is exhilarating and something I would gladly give an hour to do.”

While the medallion hunt seems like all fun and games, it can teach students a lot about campus in the process, according to Dieffenbach.

“The medallion hunt is a great

way to build a stronger connection to campus and I would recommend that everyone go out at least a few nights during homecoming to join in the experience,” he said.

There are only a select few that have the privilege of saying they’ve found the medallion, and Amy Crockett, a 2012 graduate, is one of the few.

Crockett found the medallion in 2009 while searching with a group of close friends from Larzelere Hall.

“It was my second year living in Larzelere and I was pretty involved in hall activities, and lots of my friends were doing medallion hunting. I wanted to join in and see what all the fuss was about,” Crockett said. “The thing about medallion hunting is that it is really addictive; once you get into it, you want so much to be the one who finds it.”

Crockett recounts the events of the night she and her friends discovered the location of the medallion and describes the events as some of the most memorable she has ever had.

“After how much time, energy and brainpower you put into finding it, every waking hour spent thinking about it for an entire week, and wandering the campus in the middle of the night following empty leads, it is such an indescribable feeling to actually find it and hold it in your hands,” she said.

Finding the medallion might seem like a small feat to some, but the satisfaction is something that Crockett won’t soon forget.

“Overall, it was just an amazing experience. It was really special

because it was time spent with great friends and it was a great feeling to win it for our home, Larzelere Hall,” she said. “It’s a story my husband and I still reminisce about as one of our very favorite moments from college.”

The avid hunters have one person to thank for the creation of this annual event that would change CMU’s homecoming permanently: Jamie Brown.

Brown, who occupied the role of Assistant Director of Student Life in 2003, decided to create a homecoming event that she thought would be both challenging and fun for students.

Little did she know that in years to come this would become the most sought-after event of the academic school year.

“I came up with the idea a little bit based on the Tip-Up Town medallion hunt at Houghton Lake,” Brown said. “Myself along with Tony Voisin and Tom Idema finalized the clues and story each year. We used things like anagrams, word clues, poems and trivia to make things up.”

Brown reminisces about the days when she would be followed around campus by those die-hard hunters looking for any clue that might lead them to the medallion.

“Students went crazy with looking for it and they were always grilling us for clues,” Brown said. “I would get followed on campus sometimes, too. It has been fun to watch it become such a neat tradition for CMU.”

As returning fall shows begin to make their way into our living rooms and computers, “American Horror Story” stands at the forefront.

Beginning it’s third season on FX, “American Horror Story” utilizes a unique style of story telling, making each season a stand-alone story. This season again demonstrates the dark, mysteriously spooky content that makes it the quintessential falltime show.

Season three, formally known as “AHS: Coven,” is set in New Orleans and follows a secret coven of young witches as they explore the realms of the supernatural.

Emmy winner Jessica Lange returns to lead the cast as the all-powerful, troublesome witch Fiona Goode. Also returning is Evan Peters, this season as a college football jock.

Both Lange and Peters remain the heart of the show, each having appeared in every episode thus far.

This season also welcomes newcomers Gabourey Sidibe (“Precious”) and Emma Roberts (“We’re the Millers”).

Rounding out this year’s cast is the well-known Kathy Bates. Bates portrays the centuries old, cursed and vengeful New Orleans socialite, Madame Delphine Lalaurie.

The third installment looks to be a more focused story; especially considering the multiple character plots in season two. The writing remains mysterious, dark and captivating without being too complex to follow.

“American Horror Story” embraces and even takes advantage of the spookiness that seems to naturally come with this time of year. The dark skies and chilly nights pair perfectly with the eerie and spine-chilling content

the show continually offers.

Acting as an unofficial greeter for the autumn months, this FX show ushers in the ghost, ghouls and promise of mischief that is so commonly associated with fall.

“AHS: Coven,” much like the previous seasons, has the trademark bizarreness and downright freaky themes and stories that creator Ryan Murphy has come to deliver so well.

It is well produced, well-written and will give you the “heebie-jeebies.”

MUSIC REVIEW

Miley Cyrus all flash and no boom on ‘Bangerz’

By Ben Solis Staff Reporter

Miley Cyrus, the last in the line of Disney princesses to go bad, has been desperately trying to show all of us that she’s a grown-up since she turned 18 years old.

The last year has been no different in the continuing story of Cyrus, as she cut her famous brown locks and twerked her way to controversy at 2013’s MTV Video Music Awards.

The majority of the modern working world could have cared less.

Who and what exactly is Miley Cyrus? What does she have to offer us other than a quick soundbite on “Entertainment Tonight?”

Apparently she still sings, something else Cyrus has been trying to convince us of since she became a legal adult.

In some respects, that’s what her newest album, “Bangerz,” with its intentionally hip misspelling, is trying to achieve.

Adrian Hedden

Senior Reporter

A history of excess can end now One of college’s proudest traditions is upon us. Homecoming is almost here, and students and alumni alike are poised to indulge in the debauchery.

Aside from the traditional festivities of the October event, reckless partying will no doubt

By Katherine Ranzenberger Staff Reporter

By teaming up with hip-hop producer Mike WiLL Made It, Cyrus proves to her already built-in audience that she can be raunchy, sexual and intense, a sentiment that resonates with college-aged party animals, both male and female.

Undoubtedly, “Bangerz” is an album the masses can really get behind. It’s easy to digest and easy to lose track of until a particular favorite song finds its way into the rotation.

That’s not to say the duo don’t have a few surprising moments in the midst of all the unmemorable sludge.

The mere seven out of 16 tracks that matter are refreshingly inventive and operatically arranged.

Album opener “Adore You” sets a deep tone unfortunately unmatched by the rest of “Bangerz,” while “#GETITRIGHT” and “On My Own” are upbeat funky numbers that seep southern soul.

Even the smash hit “We Can’t

Stop” displays a sense of pop mastery for both Cyrus and WiLL, with the emphasis leaning toward the producer and his taste for catchy synthesized sound craft.

In many ways, “Bangerz” is much more of a triumph for WiLL than it could ever be for Cyrus, who might try to reinvent herself again in the next three years.

reign supreme for many Central Michigan University students and graduates.

Those who have weathered the storms of higher education traditionally return, to pass the torch of Chippewa pride on to incumbent students.

But there are also many who unite with their old buddies and pass the bong in remembrance of their lackluster performances while falling through the cracks of CMU’s infamous history of excess.

The alumni should look out for newer students and set a good example for what should be the early stages of adulthood.

Partying might have been fun in their heydays, but students are expected to move on as they work through education.

As one of those new students, I’ve been troubled by whisperings echoing in the fall wind. A simple inquiry into the purpose of homecoming, and what to expect, garners giddy sighs as long-time students and faculty recant dangerous behavior observed by alums.

It’s not a time for all these

graduates and former students to come back and get drunk one last time. Homecoming is a much-need celebration as the year’s first semester reaches the half-way point. We deserve to celebrate, as time has left higher education seemingly more manageable than at our initial approach.

Campus police will be out in droves, looking out for seasoned non-students hoping to cause problems. Imagine the student who powered through the mid-term and dashed out to the game for homecoming merriment only to witness one his proud elders carried away in a paddy wagon.

Chances are, that young student will replicate the behavior in front of him. He’ll totter through classes and swiftly come to rest, like his predecessors, in a puddle of warm beer.

Alums need to break the cycle of recklessness. Remain sober amidst the fumes of embellished memories. Wipe the liquor from your faces and give us something to live up to.

Our futures depend on it.

A look back at ‘Saturday Night Live’

By Jake Schmittler Staff Reporter

Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!

Premiering this month more than 35 years ago, “Saturday Night Live” has continually provided a reliable weekend escape year in and year out.

Created by Lorne Michaels to help provide relief from “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson,” SNL has become a staple in comedy and fall television.

1975-1980

The first five years of “SNL” ultimately proved to be a colossal success, introducing the world to then little-known comedians such as Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi.

The initial success of the show catapulted these comedians into the world of all-time greats and provided many of the greatest seasons of the show.

The initial popularity also drew appearances from already well-known celebrities such as Steve Martin, Andy Kauffman, George Carlin and musical guests such as Paul Simon. The tradition of celebrity hosts became a crucial ingredient to the success, a recipe still used today.

A case against my bumbling neighbors

The decisions we make and the way we make them say a lot about who we are and what we have to intelligently offer the rest of humanity.

Surely the way we control our physical movement plays a large part in this, too, especially when identifying intelligence and brain development.

According to a 2009 study by researchers at the Australian National University in Canberra, the display of normal human postures in premature babies has a high correlation with that child’s future intelligence quotient (IQ), the primary way we measure someone’s intellectual aptitude and learning ability.

The babies who failed to display one or more of

‘The Walking Dead’ returns for fourth season, highly anticipated by viewers

By Jake Schmittler Staff Reporter

1980S

Michaels left the show in 1980, as well as many of the favorite cast members, which led to an incredible drought in the show’s popularity. The 1980s were almost entirely carried by a single, groundbreaking comedian: Eddie Murphy.

Though it was clearly a huge boost for Murphy’s career, the 1980s marked the beginning of the constant criticism that still falls on “SNL” today.

1990S

Creator Lorne Michaels returned to the show in the mid 1980s and brought “SNL” back to life.

The 1990s saw the cast of “SNL” grow to a record high of 18 members, many going on to become superstars. The show introduced the world to the likes of Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Phil Hartman, Mike Myers and Kevin Nealon in the ‘90s.

As popular as the show was, many cast members still filtered out. The end of the ‘90s left the show in an inconsistent balance.

2000S

After a few seasons of increasingly lower numbers, “SNL” was finally brought back to life (again) with spark-plug comedians such as Will Ferrell, Tina

these normal postures went on to have various lowerthan-average IQ’s and had a higher propensity toward learning disabilities.

Surely there must be more to measurable intelligence than just movement?

Yes and no, according to Howard Gardner, a Harvard University psychologist and author of the 1983 book “Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences.”

In Gardner’s book, the psychologist states that there are multiple forms of expressed intelligence, and how we move – a type called Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence – plays a big part in the total makeup of a given intelligence quotient.

If both posture and the way we move are accurate depicters of intelligence, I can say with some degree of empirical certainty that my upstairs neighbors are most likely a common collection of bumbling idiots.

Each morning for these three dimwits begins relatively in the same way.

Some god-awfully incessant alarm starts to buzz around 7:30 a.m. and is swiftly shut down by the haphazardly heavy hand of the first, let’s say the larger of the three, the one whose bedroom is directly above mine.

As if to signify that the thin walls of Jamestown apartments are in fact so transparent that these individuals might as well being sharing a bedroom, the shrill sound carries over to

Fey, Jimmy Fallon and Amy Poehler.

The early 2000s saw the show soar to a popularity not seen since its beginning, and “SNL” was again launching comedians into super stardom.

With a changing political climate, these cast members had come to be known for their political satire, most notably Ferrell as President George W. Bush and Fey as Sarah Palin.

TODAY

The hype of “SNL” is down since its rise in the early 2000s, but it is certainly not out. Big names come and go every year, but veteran favorites including Seth Myers and Kenan Thompson remain, waiting to pass the torch to the next generation.

Though it might not be as popular as it was in the early 2000s or the late ‘70s, “SNL” can still hold its own.

The show has proven time and again that it is a reliable veteran source for fall programming, helping to ease the pain of changing seasons. The fall premiere of “SNL” is something viewers can and should count on every year. studentlife@cm-life.com

Surely, I must be making a mountain out of a molehill, and I might not have a right to call these people morons, but science dictates otherwise.

Walking heel-to-toe, not shuffling your feet or dragging them behind you is a sign of maturity, grace and apparently, a sign of heightened intelligence. It’s a concept that was pounded into my head as a child by my father, who was, of course, a NASA scientist.

Not all of us get to be burdened by high aptitude, and much can be said of average-to-below-average intelligence and overall happiness in life.

You might have more fun than me, but for the love of God or whatever deity

Grab your pitchforks and clear your schedules. “The Walking Dead” is back.

Season four of the hit AMC show premiered Sunday night after much anticipation. Ending last season with high praise, “The Walking Dead” team has lofty expectations to live up to this season.

The season premiere was filled with all the guts, gore and emotion fans have come to love and expect.

The time that has elapsed between seasons three and four is significant, but not too lengthy, leaving viewers feeling fresh without feeling left behind. The camp has grown exponentially and life within the confines of the prison fortress has begun to feel routine.

Rick (Andrew Lincoln), recovering from traumatizing events from last season, is still trying to find his way back to emotional stability; a complementary factor that adds balance to the brutal, bloodthirsty violence of killing zombies.

Now in its fourth season, “The Walking Dead” creators appear comfortable to let the emotional factor drive the show’s progression without relying heavily on action and gore that naturally comes along with smashing zombie skulls.

However there are still plenty of creative zombie killings to satiate the biggest of appetites.

The writing is once again exciting, evoking tension and anxiety in the most subtle of situations, giving a gritty and convincing representation of the fear that might accompany the life of a zombie apocalypse survivor.

Now having food, water and

routine, the quality of life at the camp appears to be increasing. Can life inside their fortified world finally begin to shows signs of normality? Or will Rick and the gang have an unexpected new threat?

Stay tuned Sunday at 9 p.m. on AMC to see how this season unfolds.

Men’s basketball to hold public practice

By Kristopher Lodes Sports editor

For the first time since losing in the first round of the Mid-Amerian Conference tournament, basketball fans will get a look at the men’s basketball team.

From 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m., the team will hold an open

practice for the public. There will also be an open scrimmage prior to the homecoming football game on Saturday.

Second-year head coach Keno Davis led the Chippewas to to a winning record in nonconference play, but a ninegame losing streak in MAC play derailed the season.

The team will be look-

ing for better results as it welcomes a favorable nonconferenece season including a home tournament held during Thanksgiving break.

Students use homecoming, sports to raise campus cancer awareness

By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

With October at its halfway point, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is in full swing.

The Angel Wings Foundation, which assists children who have lost a parent to cancer, is an example of how the awareness spreads this time of the year. It is granted in the form of a scholarship to its recipients.

At the homecoming game, anybody can purchase a pink rally towel with the Angel Wings logo and the words ‘Chips for Cure’ on the towels for $3.

The idea came from a group of students in Dr. Vincent Mumford’s PES 320 classes.

Central Michigan University students Nick Smith, Austin Peters and Mary Walsh recently came up with a way to raise donations as well as aware-

ness for the foundation with the help of an assignment for one of their classes.

“For one of our classes, we had to come up with an event to use sports to better the community,” Smith said.

The towels will raise awareness for Angel Wings, but that’s only the beginning. The classes will also be raising money with a couple of events taking place on Saturday Oct. 26 at the IM Fields: The Pink Bowl and Knock Cancer Out of the Park.

The Pink Bowl is a six-person co-ed flag football tournament with a maximum of eight people per team and Knock Cancer Out of the Park is a softball home run derby.

“It started out as two separate groups and there was a little bit of a competition where each class wanted to do better and make more money than the other one,” Peters said. “We eventually decided to come together and write one check to the foundation, just to show that we are working

together for the same cause.”

Awareness is something the students needed to do for their assignments a they’ve been able to do so in a number of different ways.

“We have tables set up at the UC and we are also talking to other classes, hall councils and trying to get the word out over social media such as Facebook and Twitter,” Walsh said.

“We’re really working hard to get the student body involved with this.”

Smith, Peters and Walsh will receive a grade on this assignment, but the real treat, according to them, is knowing they made a difference in a child’s life.

“We want to gain awareness and raise funds so there is scholarship money available for those kids,” Smith said.

Check cm-life.com for ways to help the cause or sign up for the events.

The Mid-American Conference on Monday announced the creation of the Bahamas Bowl, its fifth bowl affiliation beginning in 2014.

The game, which is set to run through 2019, will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium in Nassau, Bahamas. The MAC is slated to send a team each year through 2017, with teams from the American Athletic, Conference USA and Sun Belt serving as opponents. It is the second bowl game to be announced by the league in the last week, with an announcement for the ESPN-owned Boca Raton (Fla.) Bowl, to be played at Florida Atlantic University, made on Friday.

“Nice places, I’d like to go to one of them,” CMU head coach Dan Enos said after practice on Tuesday. “If you can get yourself to be bowl eligible, I think it’s a great reward for your players and coaches, and your fans, to be able to have a bowl game.

“It’s like us last year, going to the Little Caesars (Pizza) Bowl. Any time you can have more bowl games and more rewards for the young people to give them life experiences I think the better off we all are going to be.”

A date has not yet been set for the 2014 game, but a MAC team will play a team from the AAC. In 2015, a MAC team will play a team from CUSA. An AAC team is scheduled to play in the 2016 game, with the Sun Belt getting in on the game in 2017.

ESPN’s Brett McMurphy tweeted this morning that the game is expected to be aired on one of the ESPN networks.

In a statement, CMU athletics director Dave Heeke called the game “unique and exciting” for the program and its fans.

“A bowl like this provides a destination for studentathletes that they might not otherwise have the chance to visit, providing memories for a lifetime,” Heeke said.

Frazier wins MAC Defensive Player of the Week

Davis is ‘questionable’ against Northern Illinois, he says otherwise

By Aaron McMann Senior Reporter

By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

Sophomore safety Kavon Frazier could have slipped into the background after a successful start to the season.

He had two interceptions in his first two games of the year, more than the one he had last year.

Instead, he made his presence felt again versus Ohio on Saturday, earning Defensive Player of the Week honors in the Mid-American Conference West division by accounting for two turnovers.

“Kavon’s been a very good player,” Enos said. “He’s only a true sophomore, so this is his first year starting, so he’s still growing and getting better. I think he needs to tackle better.

That’s one thing we’ve really been working on these last few weeks. But he’s a playmaker.”

The most important one came when Ohio was looking to respond, moving the ball 48 yards down the field after a Central Michigan field goal that extended the Chippewas lead to 10-3 in the second quarter.

Frazier describes his role on defense as the “robber,” and he did just that by robbing the Bobcats of their scoring opportunity.

Ohio receiver Matt Waters took the ball to the Chippewas 24-yard line on a pass play and was about to go down after being grabbed by the leg. Frazier came in and jarred the ball loose with his right arm for his first forced fumble of his career.

“I was just trying to finish the play,” Frazier said. “Just getting another body on him. I didn’t even know he fumbled until I looked back and the ball was gone. And then I just celebrated with the team.”

Shannon Millard | Staff Photographer Sophomore defensive back sophomore Kavon Frasier tackles a Toledo player Sept. 21 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

“Kavon’s been a very good player.

He’s only a true sophomore, so this is his first year starting, so he’s still growing and getting better. I think he needs to tackle better. That’s one thing we’ve really been working on these last few weeks. But he’s a playmaker.”

Dan Enos, head coach He also snatched his first interception since the game against New Hampshire on an overthrow.

The Grand Rapids-native still contributed in the games in between, though.

He was second on the team in tackles with 11 against Toledo. In the Chippewas win against Miami, he had four pass deflections, including one on the last offensive play of the game for the RedHawks.

The first glimpse of his playmaking ability came in a 34-31 win against Eastern Michigan last season. He took an interception to the end zone, accounting for the last lead change of the game to put his team up 24-21 in what was

a must-win situation for the Chippewas to have a chance at a bowl bid.

He also recovered a fumble against New Hampshire this season to give his team a chance to score on its game-winning drive. There are fewer opportunities for a player on defense than offense to make big plays, so it is difficult to predict when he will make his next big play.

But one thing he knows is he will stay motivated “That’s my goal,” Frazier said. “Just stay hungry and keep on trying to move forward and build progress on my achievements.” sports@cm-life.com

The messages mixed, the final result still up in the air.

Central Michigan head football coach Dan Enos on Tuesday declared receiver Titus Davis, sidelined during the team’s 26-23 win over Ohio, questionable for Saturday’s game against Northern Illinois (3 p.m., ESPN3).

Just 24 hours earlier, during the Mid-American Conference coaches’ teleconference on Monday morning, Enos called Davis probable.

“Good,” Enos said Tuesday after practice, following a long pause. “He’s questionable at this point, but he’s better than last week.”

Davis was held out of CMU’s game at Ohio after suffering an undisclosed injury to his left shoulder last week. Details of the injury have been kept quiet, with the coaching staff and CMU officials insisting it’s nothing major, and Davis could

be seen on the field Saturday at Peden Stadium throwing before the game.

Minutes before kickoff, Davis took to Twitter to quash any speculation, writing: “First and last game I’ll miss.”

Davis practiced on Tuesday, but was not made available to the media after. Junior receiver Courtney Williams characterized Davis’ performance in practice as “really well.”

“He was looking like his old self,” Williams said. “He’s happy to be out there.”

With Davis out, redshirt freshman quarterback Cooper Rush was forced to spread the ball around, completing passes to 10 receivers. Williams had five catches for 43 yards, including a game-winning 5-yard touchdown.

“We came out firing on all cylinders in the second half,” Williams said. “It gave us a lot of confidence, and as wide receivers we want to keep that momentum.”

Kicker Coluzzi in mid-season slump

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

The poor man’s Johnny Football

By Seth Newman Staff Reporter

At the start of the season, redshirt freshman kicker Ron Coluzzi walked into Michigan’s Big House in front of a sold out crowd of 109,901.

Coluzzi proceeded to nail three field goals that day and his performance was one of the lone bright spots early on in the season.

During the next game against New Hampshire, Coluzzi nailed a 27-yard game winning field goal as time expired to send the home crowd into a frenzy. Going into the last week in September, Coluzzi was a perfect five-forfive on field goal attempts.

But that all changed against North Carolina State, and the kicker has been sent into a mid-season slump.

Head coach Dan Enos believes that it’s Coluzzi’s mechanics and not his mental game that is the cause for his recent slump.

“It was a little bit mechanical Saturday,” Enos said.

“With kickers, everything goes hand-in-hand. It was the mechanics, just like a golf swing or throwing the football. All that stuff is very similar so he is working through some things.”

In his last three games, Coluzzi has kicked 40 percent on field goal attempts, going two-for-five.

Against Ohio on Saturday, Coluzzi missed two field goals and an extra point.

Central Michigan ended up winning 26-23 on a last-minute touchdown drive, but the misses could have been much more costly if not for the final drive.

Asked if Coluzzi’s recent inconsistency would affect the game plan moving forward, Enos responded with resounding “no.”

Enos is confident that Coluzzi will find his footing and return to the accurate kicker he was at the begin-

“That position is particular because everyone is watch-

When Dan LeFevour was the quarterback here a few years ago, he was known by experts as ‘The poor man’s Tim Tebow.’

It’s a term used to describe a player from a mid-major conference and compare him with one of the more nationally known players from the power conferences.

Last year, Johnny Manziel amazed college football fans with 3,706 yards passing, 26 touchdowns, nine interceptions, a completion rating of 68 percent and a 155.3 quarterback rating. He also ran for 1,410 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Don’t expect the same result this time around.

Lynch might be the poor man’s Johnny Football, but he’s the best player in the MAC.
